Berkley Gulp!

Anybody tried this stuff out with success..? I was on a school of sunny today and catching with wax worms. Put some Gulp! on to try it out and got nothing. Isolated incident, or is this stuff just no good...?

I was using it today to see if it was true that it is as good as the live stuff. Had a lot of action going on on the vex when I would put it down there but didn't seem to get many to bite. I didn't bring any live bait out which I will do tomarrow so I don't know if they were just inactive.Hopefully it was just the day and not the product cause I would like to have it around on the few times I go panfishing during the season.

had a lot of success with it this summer for crappies but have yet to try it during the hard water....One thing that i have had a lot of success with is the berkley powerbait crappie nibbles, which i think work better than waxies

Don't give up on it just yet. The smallest Berkley product I would use thru the ice are the power wrigglers, the one inch twisters, or th crappie nibbles and the gulp larva in jars( if the fish are quite active). Most plastics today are designed with the open water angler in mind....doesn't mean though that they cannot have thier place thru the ice. I'd be doing some custminzing...trimming, lopping, modifying, etc...to get these larger baits downsized to work for you. Thru the ice you need to be very aware of profile...too much and the fish will only look.

Sure life happens- why wait....The Crapster....good fishing guys!

Crappie Tom has some good advise. I have used the wigglers in green and pink with success on active fish. I still much prefer live bait through the ice. I also find lighter equipment and smaller lures to work better through the ice.

I tryed it on Sat. side by side with wax worms. The results were, that the sunnies would swim up to the gulp and stare at it and maybe grab it for a second then spit it out and just hang out. The waxies, they would emiediatly grab and run with it. FISH ON! smile.gif I used two different kinds of gulp. Maybe it will work better for perch or crapps. I dont know confused.gif Good luck, Tim

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
